5 Blazing Reasons For Unproductive Perforrmers

There are segregation between the performers & unproductive performers , I am not talking about not non- performers. It is a unique kind of category, which is willing to perform even they perform hard but nobody recognize them as performer neither they got high pay raise in their appraisals on the other hand  organizations don’t kick them off ,but by the passage of time they become non performers . My research shown mostly have a following five blazing reasons for their unproductiveness;

1) I  Don’t Have Good Ideas 

Usually people say that “ I don’t have any Good/ creative  idea to work on” . in return  I ask them do u have any BAD idea … Idea is idea there is no any bad or good idea but it relates with situation and execution of idea where it will be reckoned as good or bad. One should gather all bad ideas or casual ideas  because  creative or genius people does not have creative or good ideas with them all the time. Even good performers in the organization only deliver few hours as a good performers or take few good decisions in whole day , otherwise  they act as other average performers, these few moments or decisions make them  different as High performer to average performers or as Extra Ordinary to Ordinary. It is like that Leonardo de Vinci would have been created a hundreds of painting But people mostly admired him for his work on paintings of Helicopter , Mona Lisa & Vitruva .  Stephen Covey has written lot of books but he is famous for “Seven habits of highly effective people”. Idea generation is  the main key to move ahead, if you are not thinking or not generating ideas, due to fear, it’s not taking you anywhere for positive, be it creative or good.

2) I Don’t Know What To Do?

No one knows that  what to do initially before start thinking or having a plan  , we don’t know what to do because we don’t think to do something but the moment when we certain or decide to do something then we do it . So make sure you START THINKING about doing something. Get familiar with your thoughts & keep exploring on your thoughts then you must have a way to do something in fact something GREAT .

3) I Didn't Get Degree From XYZ ( Top Rated )College / University .

Degree from XYZ ( Top rated ) college/ university might paid for you once or maximum twice but not more than that like MBA degree from #1 college can make the difference to get one on job once or Twice but after that he has to grasp every opportunity at his own. Like vice degree from mediocre college or university might restricted you once or maximum twice but soon after when you will be on job then both people will have a same ground to LEARN, DEVELOP and exhibit their EXPERTISE. Now performance & knowledge make the difference not degree from top rated institute. Strive hard for knowledge & learning to be a true successful professional rather regretting on your college / university name .

4 )  My Boss Won’t Let Me Do

My boss always ignore my ideas …. He gives my ideas value but never make it happen ……Why your boss become responsible for your risks , when you will not be assuring your boss that 100% chances are there to get succeed. Don’t put your garbage on your Boss shoulders . why you don’t take INITIATIVE and hold COURAGE  at your own , SELF Believe. Until & unless you will not have a self Or track record of success behind you how one can trust on you , so you have to prove yourself at your own & make things happen rather always looking for approval from your boss.

5)  I Can’t Do It Because I Don’t Belong To....... RACE, Religion , Gender, DNA etc.

Never under estimate yourself on the ground of race , religion , gender , DNA etc. People does not get supremacy on these grounds rather through professional knowledge & will and their on ground performances . God created every human being equivalent and given a bombastic gift of brain now it’s up to us how we can use it where as other all factors will remain same. This is not deem necessary that a sports men son will be born with the same talent as his father had or only black people can ran fast than anybody else etc. 

This is not limited to above mentioned points only, there must be for sure  many more other untouched issues & points as well which differentiate the performer from unproductive performers .

Supremacy Of Words - The Use Transformational Vocabulary

What happens if a hockey player scores a  goal & Coach didn’t praise him on the ground by saying “Shabash Bachay” or “Great Goal“ or “Superb” but later on he would do it  in the locker room ? For sure it would not have that much impact as it would have been, if done on the ground  at time he scored a goal . What if he express his feeling with low energy & fragile vocabulary on the ground? So timing & selection of words derive our actions. Sometimes we do not give much importance to our vocabulary much and it is our words which change our action in enthusiasm or passion.

We have to transform our vocabulary in order to be motivated our selves like we have to commit ourselves that we will not use word PROBLEM anymore in our entire life instead of challenge or confront because when we use word PROBLEM then our brain creates a Metaphor of “pitiable or perplexed person asking for help” and when we use word CHALLENGE, the metaphor of fighter  would be created by our brain. Our actions & behaviors have been derived by the metaphors created by our brains, so we have got to change our daily use of vocabulary and relate the positive metaphor with it.

Would you like to see any film again and again which you have rated flop earlier? For sure “Big NO”, in the same way we should replace our all metaphors & vocabulary which will turn around our disempowerment into empowerment. “I am getting tensed” can be changed to “I am concerned or little bit peeved”. Anxiety can be treated as a state where we are getting ready to energize to prove ourselves. We should take anxiety – restless feelings, of Interviews, Exams or Office Presentations as opportunity to prove ourselves. In anxiety we would be restless internally because we would be getting energizing inside out.

There are so many impressive words which we can use in our daily routine, if we’re[a1]  having a great time (at a party or working on your business) and you just say, “It’s okay, Fine” you’ll be robbing yourself of some of the juice that you could be getting.  Instead say, “This is fantastic.”  perfect… extraordinary… phenomenal… energized… brilliant… ecstatic…  incredible…awesome…fabulous……..Top of the world because when we say “ its fine or Okay “ then our brain create a metaphor of “deprived person” but when we use lively words as I mentioned above then it shows your over all personality that how much contented you are ? You can send enormous messages to other person through your right transformational vocabulary.

You can use modifiers too for irritation , tension , deprived, dejected moments etc:

• a little bit peeved                    
• somewhat concerned              
• kind of unfortunate
• that’s rather inconvenient

 & for joyful & ecstatic moments

• absolutely wonderful
• totally awesome
• Top of the world
• Perfectly Stunning
• deeply satisfying
• exquisitely delicious

And yes finally do note that when you are sending written messages these matters a lot more because the person with whom you are communicating with is visualizing you metaphorically. And when communicating on one to one basis your gestures must compliment the words you say otherwise this may not create the impression you wanted to make.

Triumph Over The Bad Habits

My one of best friend use to be a chained smoker but I always enticed him hard to leave it . Ever time  he told me that "whenever he thinks about leaving the smoking , he feels so much pain associated with it ". So I started working on it as I did with myself , but now Alhamdulliah , I am not a smoker anymore. Yes he is absolutely correct ,it is a matter of pain & pleasure which is associated with over all habits, as long as you will be associated pleasure with your any bad habit , you can’t exonerate it . Habits take a single moment to change but it is up to you whether you are committed with to let off it or not . When you want to start a habit, don’t tell yourself you are doing it for life, tell yourself (your conscious brain) that you are going to try it for 21 days , because habit is a unconscious frequent repetition of behavior. For example if you want to start the habit of Exercise tell your conscious self that you are trying it for 21 days only . Now, when you have completed this for 21 days your conscious mind has the choice of stopping it or carrying on, or so it thinks. Now it’s up to you what sort of order will you give to your brain to do, now your commitment with that habit will emerge and you will be very near to acquire a new habit for another 90 days then it will become a permanent part of your personality or behavior as a Habit after 365 days . There are following stages one has to go through to emerge new habit/ pattern and letting off the old one.

What do u want And why ?

If you want to quit smoking you have to affirm your unconscious that you want to quit smoking& why you want to quit relate some pain with it, you have to correlate the solid reasoning with that otherwise after sometime you will resume your quit habit again . You have to repeat these affirmation whenever you have a free time specially at the bed time or in the morning while brushing or bathing.

Get the leverage yourself

Once you have affirmed your unconscious that what so you want with solid reasoning now get the leverage of yourself & show your control over you . Make a public commitment for quitting smoking , tell everyone you know specially to those who are very hooked up with smoking . Enjoy your leverage by denying the offer to have a Cigarettes.

Interrupt the pattern

Don’t like a bee , who hitting the window pane again and again for escaping, do different things if one thing is not working like don’t go there for a week or couple of weeks where smokers will have been gathered or quit the company of smokers. Just interrupt your past pattern it is just like that you made a lot of scratches on DVD & it not able to play again likewise interrupt your unconscious in that manner , it should not have single thought about the smoking. Associate a great pain with smoking or your any habit which you would like to quit.

Figure out some Alternatives

Associate pleasure with some other alternative which provide you the more pleasure that smoking . it is not meaning that you started chew Tobacco. You have interrupted your pattern so this sort of thought will not be emerged in your mind but do some constructive alternatives , It can be a jogging , mediation , cooking , reading etc.

Repetition of alternatives

Repetition is the mother of Skill , so repeat you new pattern/ alternative and then it will become your habit, then practice it and have pride on your self that you have an extreme control over your behavior.

For getting your desired success, you have to elevate your standards to a high level and you have to make sure that you will not settle for less than what you deserve. This is the first key towards your success in achieving your goal.

And it requires a lot of courage & effort. Raise in standards without change in your previous practices cannot be achieved, if you will be repeating your previous behavior continuously. It is just like a Fly confined in a closed room & hitting its head again & again on the window where it would be finding its way to flee from room but it is not trying to search a new place to flee.

Not only we have to raise our standards by bringing continuous Improvements in our behavior and practices, but keep on constantly trying to find new ways of doing the same. .

Firm Belief on Your Set Standards:

If you and I will not have a firm belief in our raised standards then we can’t raise our standards as we want. Self belief is the firewood for getting your set standards. Once you set & raise your standards then you must not even think about settling on less. You must have a belief that you must meet your raised standards at all costs. There should not be a second thought that haunts your mind.

Every belief has some reference, for understanding just take the believe as a table which requires four supporting legs to stand on, even if one of the leg will be not equalize other in terms of support, the other three will be shaken up and whenever anybody will give pressure to empty weaken side the table will plunge hard to ground, it is like our Belief.

A sales person has raised his standards and he might have has a belief that now he will not settle for less than Sales Manager – to make that table unshaken,. He has to build four firm references or legs to make his table (his belief) remain standup firmly, First of all that he is Good at sales, Sales is his aptitude, he is passionate about sales AND he can achieve any assigned target. He has all competencies & KSA (Knowledge, skills, abilities) to take up charge as Manager Sales and manage sales.

Developed A Strategy & Right Approach:

You have raised your standards and developed a firm belief, but now you have to develop a strategy that how one can be a Manger Sales. For this he has to adopt the “CANI approach -Constant and Never Ending Improvement”. You have to add value or bring improvement on daily basis to achieve your goal like read professional Sales book, Attend seminars & training sessions on self financed basis because it is for your own development. Until & unless you will get the pain of investment in short term, you will not get pleasure of achieving your goal (Sales Manager) in long term. You should document your strategy with start & end date to be a Sales Manager & on daily basis keep an eye on that what value you add or bring improvement and what efforts you have made for your Goal.
